Look at the labels on what you buy. If it is made in China, know that you may be getting poisoned or at least getting cheated. Much of China's industry is owned and operated by the Communist Chinese Military. Profits made on cheap Chinese goods, made by near-slave labor, and peddled to (thrifty?) Americans is used to arm and advance the Chinese military, building ships, planes and other military hardware, some of which are then aimed right back at us. This is a serious threat to our health, our economy, the safety of the world, and our very way of life. Unfair trade practices (still supported by some in our government!) allow shoddy Chinese goods to be sold in the US for less than it costs to produce anywhere else, and puts tarifs on American goods that are exported. Unfair trade and monetary policies account for a 35 point plus, price advantage for China, even before the cost considerations of slave labor wages, and lack of quality control. For a much better explanation of the Chinese Trade cheating problem we have, watch this video from Duncan Hunter's website.
Is it just me, or has Wal-Mart become the world wide retail outlet for the Chinese Army? Do they feel any guilt about abandoning the 90's "Buy American" sales strategy they had, and then stiffing American companies to instead sell only Chinese goods? Price cutting comes at a cost.
Below are some articles that describe some of the TOXIC trade.
